Price and equipment6.0/10

Originally costing me $33,000, it had only 30,000kms on the clock. Good price for 8 years ago. I am the second owner, with all service history. Equipment would be rated as not bad. Although the standard model does not have the added extras I have ,eg. electric windows front and back.

Under the bonnet8.0/10

Great, very surprising economical power. Revs at a nice 1900 sitting at 100kms on the freeway. Easy to service and maintain. It is common for the water pumps to go on them though. I have done 2.

How it drives8.0/10

It sits on the road nicely, you know where you are. Easy to park. Hugs the corners, nice all round drive. Comfy enough for 4 adults.

Comfort and practicality8.0/10

A good sized medium car. Everything you need as a driver is at your fingertips. Modern comforts all round.

Servicing and running costs8.0/10

When serviced at Holden service centres, it was expensive and things done that didn't need to be. I think that just because you are a woman, the service guys think that you know nothing about cars. I take my VS SS II Holden Commodore to FORD to be serviced and have never had any dramas.

Quality and reliability8.0/10

Standard servicing has kept this running well. Apart from 2 water pumps, no dramas at all.

Overall verdict8.0/10

Great car, surprisingly economical for a V8. Nice body, attractive to look at, well maintained.
